Have you tried Yoga Mike?
There are some restorative postures plus it’s pretty good for all round strength and mobility.

I’ll look into something, but we really have such a small town that there isn’t much to volunteer for. There is no shelters or anything like that. No youth centers. Literally nothing this town is a joke lol

I’ll look into them, I’ve definitely fixed my posture alot so far, and been doing alot of pull ups. Bent over rows, planks,band pulls. I’m not sore anywhere else but my left elbow sucks :disappointed_relieved:

Yeah I do :frowning: I go down and lift on my lunch break, then go home and jog or do some sort of hit workout. Maybe just a walk would be a lil more soothing tho

Your humble lady senilix…

Is lifting ok for it though Mike. This is where the yoga is good because it’s not putting any major strain on our joints and muscles but slow stretch and contraction.

Very true, I’ll check them out after work. Any channel you recommend?

Thanks girl:) I heard it takes a while to upload videos and stuff? You sure I wouldn’t need a computer?

I don’t know about channels. There’s been a few posts over time on here asking that question. Have a search.
I’ve got a book that has programs and suchlike in it called Yoga for Men.
Don’t know if it’s available over there but there’s probably something similar or a channel similar.

My kids does small videos a few minutes long that we film and uploads by phone. I do recommend you to use YouTube app and YouTube studios app because you’re going to have to make tags, content information, and editing in the YouTube studio app. As long as you ain’t doing gaming videos you’re gonna be fine with just a phone and a good internet connection as a starter.

laugh if you want but it’s becoming more of a common problem and the reason is people hold their phones up all day.

I know,but it’s not even that elbow is what sucks :joy:, but for sure it definitely helped mess my posture up. And I always slouched over really bad to try and hide my man boobs when I was growing up. Ppl use to smack them and it made me really self conscious so I bent over more and more and just ruined it

Sometime just trying to be fine with being is actually doing a lot. I’m really into this these days…
But I am a big fan of books, but not novels, more psychological or philosophical ones. I like thinking, feels like I’m doing something even if I just sit on my couch looking by the window after reading. Thinking about life. What’s life about? Where am I heading? I don’t know exactly (thankfully) but I’m on a path.

If you don’t like reading tho maybe you’d like to listen to podcast about stuff you like.
Just some thoughts. Good day man.

@anon28001181 good for you man. Gotta keep those runnings fueled and powered by sobriety :muscle:t2:

I didn’t know that, Ij guess it’s better to Google the options and work from there :blush:

Day 154- Same story I feel like… feeling mentally and physically strong :muscle:t3: emotionally still really drained. Feeling others energy is a blessing and curse I think. Wish I could just tune it out but I can’t. I’ve got to get to a place that I can just process it and move on… But hey if that’s my biggest issue I guess things aren’t so bad. Just gotta keep pushing forward. :v:t3::heart::blush:

Day 60 sober > 120 days until 6 months

Good morning you lovely lot!!!
Popping in for my 60 day milestone. Still dealing with personal situations that take all of my time, but I am attending nightly SMART meetings and working my tools. Seems to be the way for me.

Hopefully everyone is doing well!!!
